Default April Pickups

How could it be the third of the month and no one has started a new pickup thread? Has the month started that slow for everyone?

Well...
I'll start things then.

Default April Pickups

Some of my recent pickups:

Although I've had some very good pickups recently, this is my favorite of the last couple of years, mainly because it fits squarely in the focus of my collecting niche, the Philadelphia Eagles. It is a panoramic photograph of the 1934 Philadelphia Eagles. I have a 35 as well, the this 34 is much bigger and in much better shape. I still need to get it framed.




Next, I recently picked up this group of early football tickets,etc. Included in the group is a small program for the 1899 Army Navy Football game, with 2 accompanying ticket stubs. The army navy game actually started in 1890 but up until 1894, the game was a home game for either army or navy. After a nasty incident in 1894, the Army Navy game was banned (the teams were only allowed to play home games). The game was restarted in 1899 as a neutral field game in Philadelphia. The other stubs are mostly Penn games between Harvard, Cornell, Lafayette, and Carlisle.

Boy Mark it's an incredible accomplishment to have hunted down 65 out of 96 SIGNED 1934 Goudeys! I mean really... 2/3 of the set ALL signed. The set is 76 years old! Blows me away.

Amd Carlton, you really have the nose to discover multiple high grade sports antiques. That's a fantastic Hagen signed photo. He had one of the great signatures in sports.

Alright, I finally have a few new pick-ups to share. First off, a pair of high grade FULL Bottles of Ted Williams Moxie Soda along with an incredibly scarce Moxie carrying carton, and a superb large (6") companion piece 1950's Moxie Decal in NM/MT condition...

moxierootbeerwithcarryingcase.jpgMoxieDecal.jpg

Also was able to grab this nice pair of Mantle items. I got this 1968 Topps Baseball Posters empty box first and won the huge (10 x 18) matching poster a few days later.

Great stuff so far, guys!!

I won this glass negative last night in one of Legendary's eBay auctions:



The image isn't the most exciting thing in the world, but I think it will make an excellent painting because of the story.

The scene dates from August 14, 1929, and the Tigers are holding 'Charlie Gehringer Day' for their young second baseman. In the Charles Conlon book, Gehringer's persona is alluded to in an anecdote (which is later expounded upon on Wikipedia:

"His unassuming nature is also reflected in his reaction to a "Charlie Gehringer Day" held by the Tigers in 1929. Fans from Gehringer’s hometown and throughout Detroit filled the stands for a 17-13 win over the Yankees. Gehringer handled 10 chances at second base, had four hits including a home run, and stole home. In a ceremony, the people of Fowlerville presented Gehringer with a set of golf clubs. Though the clubs were right-handed, and Gehringer was left-handed, Gehringer learned to golf right-handed rather than trade for a left-handed set of clubs."

You'll see the bag of clubs towards the right of the image.

Thanks Mike and Jimmy for the kind words.
As with most of us, it is a labor of love.

Jimmy,
I think you should change your screen name to the "king of companion items."
I have never seen so much stuff collected that fit together so well. Collecting all of the same set of some collectible is a natural, but you have really broadened the completist collecting idea on the memorabilia side.

great job all.

Mark

Default Joe Jackson bat

Just got this late teens era Joe Jackson decal bat. This Louisville Slugger model 40JJ is 36” long, completely original, un-cracked, and features a logo stamped on the knob that reads “Schmelzer’s Arms Co., KC, MO”. This is the longest Jackson decal bat that we’ve ever seen, remaining in excellent + condition, and boasting an awesome “Black Betsy” like finish and patina.

Default Just arrived today

1927 World Series Type 1.
Pics are 4.5 x 7 and 4.5 x 6.
They depict Lou Gehrig making a play at first base and Gehrig sliding into third.






They were pasted in a scrap book. The black paper at the bottom of the second pic is from the scrapbook.

Two terrific rare early images of Gehrig doing all the little things that would help mold him into a great leader of his teammates.

I think Lou had a pretty simple approach, which was... lead by example and hit the crap out of the ole horsehide!

Great pick ups Mark. I must say that you are really showing a very keen eye in your choosing of photos! Well done Mark, well done indeed.

BTW... Henry Yee's listings today are mostly Movie Stars, Politics, Historic Moments, Music, and Americana and there are many incredibly photos. Many of which are as iconic as they get. I'm also pretty sure he will add some more Baseball a bit later as that has been his MO in the past...

Default 1932 Cleveland Indians Score Card - 1st Game at Cleveland Stadium

Just pick this up off of Ebay. Had a hunch on what it was and was later confirmed in some discussions with Rob D. (Thanks Rob!). Scorecard from the first game at old Cleveland Stadium - Lefty Grove vs. Mel Harder and the Athletics beat the Tribe 1-0 on July 31, 1932.

Right now, it's "stored and displayed" where it lies in the backyard. It weighs about 500 pounds, so the house is really out of the question. I'm going to clean the rust spots, and paint over them--so it won't rust anymore, but I want to leave it in as original condition as possible.

I'm thinking about having a small area in the yard finished with paving stones--about 5' x 5', and placing the piece there.

Default Requiem for a Ballpark

The best memories of my youth occurred sitting beneath that steel. Who ever thought that Yankee Stadium would cease to stand? Call me a romantic but I had always assumed it would go to slow rot like the Coliseum in Rome. I wish they had left the place alone in '73; that was bad enough. And now the remnant in your back yard, David, is a gutwrenching sight for me but at least the ghosts will have a relic to inhabit.

The first few rows of the upper deck have "box chairs," the same free-standing chairs that can be seen in early photos of the first rows of the lower stands.

I completely agree with you, David. The demolition is a crime.

This isn't the most exciting piece, but I don't know if I've seen another. It's about 3" long.

I'm not deeply into the "games" aspect of the hobby, but just couldn't resist this one. The early graphics are amazing, and the condition has to make it one of the best extant.

The game is from 1908, and includes the original pieces and pamphlet (which contains ringing endorsements from the likes of Hughie Jennings, High Pockets Kelly, Fred Clarke, etc.) It also says things like "the most realistic baseball game ever created", and "will keep your boys in the home and off the streets". Hyperbole that you would never see today...

I still haven't figured out how to play, as it seems that home run (up the ramps) or out (in the hole cutouts) are the only options. Not sure how you would score a single, double or triple. If anyone knows, please post!

Innocent fun for every Boy..hahahahahah.

Awesome looking game. Maybe its like home run derby, HR or out, but obviously that wouldn't give the "realism" they are pushing.

I got two new pick ups in the mail today. Bat from the 1920's, i liked it because it had the same last name as me(lewis). And my other pick up is a antique red and blue stitched ball, always wanted one but never wanted to pay alot for a good one, so bought a beat up one.

What a great game! I'll bet Dr. Mark Cooper has the instruction sheet. I don't know how to contact him but a few years ago I lost a bidding war on eBay for a copy of The National Pastime game. After the auction we exchanged several very pleasent emails through eBay. At last notice he was a radiologist at Methodist Hospital in Philadelphia. Seems like a nice fellow and his book on baseball games is one of my favorites.

Thanks Hot Springs Bathers...

Dr. Mark Cooper did post something in the BST Section, and posted his email. Not sure whether many people even saw it... he was inquiring about games and offering B/S/T options.

I will definitely try to contact him about the instructions for this one.

Many thanks again! Mark

Mark I went to Dr. cooper's book tonight and found your game photographed on page 124 under "20th Century Action Games." At the time of publishing it appears that Cooper only had the game board itself. He shows no game pieces and no booklet. As a matter of fact he lists the game as "manufacturer unknown."

I am sure he would be very excited to learn more about the game. Of course with his apparent focus he may have more info by now. The publication date for his book is 1995. Good luck, looks like you found a real winner. Mike Dugan

Thanks... I had a feeling it was a good one! Has to be one of the best surviving examples too, as it has just nominal wear with no real condition flaws.

Regarding the question of how to score anything other than an Out or Home Run, Dr. Cooper was kind enough to reply to my inquiry, as follows...

"I remember that this game had either outs as you alluded to, home runs up the ramps and off the playing field, and a single if it stopped rolling and was not an out.

This was the competitor and precursor to Mather's game.

Great graphics and 100 years old

hope that helps

enjoy the game"

Mark

.... So now I'm curious to see Mather's Game.... can anyone post an example?

Mark I have not been able to scan the Mathers photo from Cooper's book for you. The games are very close with the Mathers edition graphics being rather bland in comparsion.

Last night I saw a copy of the Cooper book in an eBay listing for under $5.00. The item number is 170471408546. I would highly recommend obtaining a copy and this might be a good opportunity at a good price.

I will try to recruit my teenage daughter to help her old Dad with the scanner!

Congrats Jonathan. That is the finest signature I've seen on a Gehrig mitt.

Mark, tremendous pick-up with National Base Ball Game. That's the only set of player-figures from that game that we've ever seen.

For the record, National is not the predecessor of the 1906 Mather's Parlor Base Ball Game
(see post 11 here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=121873 )
-- it's a somewhat simplified, later (1908) version of it, although it's a bit mystifying how Arvine Thomas was able to get a patent granted two years later for something nearly identical to Joseph Mather's invention.

Anyway, as far as we can tell, National operates similarly to Mather's -- the shallow "dish" in each outfield section usually slows the entry into the "out" hole for any ball hit into play, during which time the batter-runner or existing baserunner(s) can be advanced around the bases. When the ball is finally retrieved by the fielding team, it's placed at whatever base would prevent further baserunner advance.

We see you've made some beauty acquisitions of games lately -- please feel welcome to show 'em off and discuss 'em or ask questions at our Baseball Games forum!

Thanks Butch, for your nice comments and all of the informative details. I really appreciate your posts, and the time you put into addressing the origins of these games, as I know very little about this cool segment of the hobby.

Here a three photos that caught my eye at the Strongsville show yesterday. Please keep in mind that I am a rookie when it comes to knowledge about these types of photos. So instead of starting a new thread with questions and my pickups, I thought that I would just combine my post here. Since most members never post how much they paid for their photos here is my question. What would be a fair price for all three of these photos together?

Thanks in advance.

Jantz

Photo #1 - 10-7-1950 World Series Game Four - Phil Rizzuto sliding into third - photographer unknown

Photo #2 - 4-15-35 Johnny Evers talking to manager Al Mamaux - photographer unknown

Photo #3 - 2-21-38 The Bureau of Standards in Washington D.C. testing the liveliness of baseballs with a new machine invented to settle arguments.(?) - photographer unknown

Super psyched about this pickup. I needed it too because I've been in an epic Ebay slump.

1940's See-How movie viewer. Complete with everything but the film strip. The box is killer with images and endorsements from Cobb and Hornsby.
